Hi Emily, Rubber cement rubs off easily with your fingers. I use it all the time to mount my photos for postcards. Any adhesive can be removed with fingernail polish remover and a q-tip as long as the back of the photo is the usual slick print paper. If a print is copied onto something like copy paper, forget it. Your best bet would be the hair dryer. It softens the sticky stuff and you can rub that off with your fingers as well. Shyrell On Fri, 19 Nov 2004 22:33:36 -0500 "Emily L.
